What educators are saying

This is a great resource that has simple instructions and was very easy for the students to follow along with to complete the lab simulation. Thank you! Now I just need PhET to push the HTML 5 version for chromebooks!
I have a homebound student who is unable to complete labs at home. I wanted him to have a lab that he could complete with his instructor. I liked it and I will use it with my in school students later this week.

Description

Moving Man is a great way for your students to understand graphing motion and have fun while doing it! I’ve done this lab for years and my students are always engaged and have a much greater grasp of how motion looks on a graph. PhET simulations are my go-to when it comes to online simulations. You will need a computer and the correct software (system requirements: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/help-center/running-sims).

You get the key and 4 pages of simulations and questions that involve the students moving a man on the website by clicking and dragging him across the screen. As they move him, his motion is graphed below and the students learn how the slope of the line represents the “Moving Man’s” motion. They learn how to interpret what the graph means and they also predict what a graph would look like based on the Moving Man’s motion, kids love it!!!

NGSSMS-PS2-2
Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. Emphasis is on balanced (Newton’s First Law) and unbalanced forces in a system, qualitative comparisons of forces, mass and changes in motion (Newton’s Second Law), frame of reference, and specification of units. Assessment is limited to forces and changes in motion in one-dimension in an inertial reference frame, and to change in one variable at a time. Assessment does not include the use of trigonometry.
